Yes, it was six months since your second when they first announced the boosters; now, suddenly, it's three. For some reason, I think that science is driving less and less of this...

As emotional, is it getting more and more irrational as the administration loses ide? Isn't that exciting to many as contagion?

Eventually will we need to be shot continuously and explaining life on the fly ... curiosity bugs me!
 
Dont forget if you live in Ontario, starting next week you will need the QR code as proof of at least 2 vaccinations against Covid. You can download on the Ontario Govt website or by calling the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre @
1-833-943-3900.
If you dont have a cell phone or just want a "paper" QR code, you can get one at Service Ontario.

However, with today's announcement by Ford and Elliott, it is hard to imagine where those QR codes will be needed. At least for the next 3 weeks (minimum).
 
Imagine a sickness, deficiency of health bringing down a whole nation ... a sick soul eats at a nations heartland ...

Stated in myth by an ancient character called amon/amet maybe Emmet as an ante particle ... leads on to antimatter in the psyche ... no matter allowed there ... a route to irrationality ... where the alternate caused IT ...

Words like Freudian creep ... cause slippage and slip ... evolution? Some kind of turn ...

True, may reduce lineups and give more time to show the booster has been added to the QR code too over the next weeks.
 
Ontario is only now starting the QR codes?
We have had them for a while but they weren't mandatory. You could still show a pre-barcode receipt plus ID. Now you have to have a QR coded receipt. Should have been sooner given that the non-barcoded ones are fairly easy to forge.

We haven't been able to use our vaccine cards for a couple months now. In fact my sister and I went to a restaurant in Victoria for lunch on Friday and the guy ahead of us was turned away for not having the QR code. I thanked the guy who was letting people in.

Dumb question...but what are they scanning them with? I've been using a paper one but will be getting QR one.

There's an app they are supposed to have on a phone. It scans the code, then checks it against a database and shows whether you are allowed in or not based on your vaccination status. For cases where they can't or don't have the app available, the vaccination history is still printed for manual checking.

So when they check our QR codes the person checking them at the door, scans our QR codes on his phone?

Bingo. And then gets a "check mark" or something like that if your passport is valid. To be honest, I have only been scanned once myself.

I've had to show my paper one about six times. First time was this summer on the grand river cruise from near caledonia. It kinda creeps me out that someone downloads my stuff on their phone though...can it be given to others to use?
 
The information is not downloaded. THe program just looks at it. When we heard at 11:30 this morning that restaurants were closing to in-person dining Wednesday, we decided to have lunch at a restaurant before coming home. The person just looked at my printed passport without using a scanner. Next week, Cosat Rica.
 
More news, the UK has approved Pfizers anti viral called Paxlovid, which is given within 3 days of symptom onset. It lowers hospitalization and death risk within 28 days by 89%.
It has 2 active ingredients
PF-07321332 and ritonavir, that acts by inhibiting a protease that prohibits the virus from replicating.
Two pills given twice a day for five days.
Administered to 18 year olds and up with mild to moderate Covid and a minimum of one risk factor for severe disease development.
Canada is still waiting for approval.
Merck's comparitive drug has not been approved in the UK or Canada yet.

Are you worried about any risk of not being able to come back?
 
This. All the app gets (or is supposed to get) is a token validating the document, not any actual data about you.
I was just remembering the Quebec politicians that had their QR codes hacked last fall (2021) and personal info revealed. That must have been fixed?
 
We can download the app to read the QR code on our own phone. As someone said above, it just shows a checkmark with your name and "vaccinated". We also have to show a photo ID to confirm who we are. It's a very easy process.
 
Are you worried about any risk of not being able to come back?
I am retired. Our neighbours will be watching our house. Friends in Deep River will be looking after our dog. People who had booked accommodation in Samara have been cancelling their reservations so we should be able to get accommodation past our current reservation. Also so much had changed about travel so I do not believe the government would stop citizens from returning as long as we have a negative PCR test the day before.
